Reece Oxford has been tipped to leave West Ham United this summer and the signing of Marlon Santos could be the final straw.
If West Ham United do go through with the signing of Marlon Santos, then Reece Oxford will surely be sold.
The Guardian have reported how West Ham are considering the signing of Marlon from Barcelona.
Marlon is considered a very bright prospect, but if he was to arrive at the London Stadium, then than would surely be the final straw for Oxford.
The youngster has been strongly linked with a move away from West Ham, after spending last season on loan at Borussia Monchengladbach.
Oxford wants more first-team football at West Ham, according to the Daily Mail, but the arrival of Marlon would surely send out the wrong message.
Marlon, himself, is a player who is learning his trade, but he would surely immediately be placed above Oxford in the pecking order for Manuel Pellegrini’s side.
And with Declan Rice, Angelo Ogbonna and Winston Reid all in front of Oxford at West Ham already, the 19-year-old, who is valued at £16 million (Daily Mail), may decide that the time is right to depart.
